  1. Ok so a long time between updates. I ended up Raising the truck 2in, it still looks ok, but more importantly it has some suspension travel. I had been thinking of engines to re power it ( in the dreaming stage), Was thinking a Nissan 4cyl Turbo diesel etc Then my Sister recently Crashed her M35 Nissan Stagea, ( Pretty much a G35 turbo wagon) Example of a good one : http://www.speedhunters.com/2010/11/car_spotlight_gt_gt_autech_stagea_axis/ It contains the VQ25DET engine... I read a few threads here and there with people swapping VG engines into D21 hardbodies etc, And in the 90's it was common in Australia to fit the Holden / Buick V6 to 720's So why not the VQ25... Should move the truck along nicely. Probably leave the auto trans from the Stagea attached, run a suitable sized intercooler, and a slight exhaust upgrade. Try to leave all the rest OEM, the 720 is a shitload lighter than the Stagea so it should haul ass with the new stock motor. There will be problems to overcome I'm sure...
  2. Looks like ill be coming again this year. I better hit up Busta for that Margarita I forgot last year. Any one keen to trade some licence plates? I'm happy to bring a few Aussie ones over. Id love a 1974ish Oregon and a 1986ish Whatever state... Will try to bring some Hoodies or t shirts from my Car club to add to the raffle. Ill be coming up from Bend OR, probably with Just Joel. Unless someone needs a car driven up from that area...
  3. Looks like a great score... but you already know that. B)
  4. Choke size: 33 Main Jets: 135 emulsion tubes: 7772.6 Air correctors: 180 Idle Jet: 45/7850.2 pump jet: 35/40 Aux Venturis: 7848.2 Should Suit an L20B. Not my info, ive just got a set of carbs too, and found these specs on another forum.
  5. 2inches... up or down is allowed.
  6. I used The 2inch drop spindles on the front of mine. 4 inch lowering blocks on the rear. The adj the torsion bars on the front to level out the truck. The front drives and rides pretty good. as far as it has full suspension travel, and dosent bump steer. tyres scrub and i dont have full lock anymore. The rear is no good. 4 inch drop puts the axle hard against the bump stops. it rides terrible. massive drive line vibrations. slams it ass on every bump... Check out my thread for a few pics etc My recommendations. 1. drop a heap of cash and get a customs shop to c notch the frame and put an air bag set up in. 2. Or if you have a Datsun budget, Get 2inch lowering blocks and adjust the torsion bars down. I highly recommend the beltech drop spindles if you can afford them. It may not get you entry into stance scene battle events. but you will be able to drive and enjoy the darn thing.
  7. I have been loving the last week being in OR, seeing 720's everywhere, Parked in driveways, on the Highway, Being used as they should. Saw a blue 620 today in Bend, bunch of stickers behind the driver on the glass. No 510's or Z cars in the wild since i left Canby... Im all set to go to the Portland Historics. Cant make the Seattle meet im afraid.
  8. Hey mate, I'm a bit far away from the truck to check the wheels specs. they are pretty soft offset from memory maybe +30ish? . 15x6.5
  9. Thanks for the replies, sorry i haven't been back here in a little while. I leave for the states in about 20Hours, and should get to Canby Saturday afternoon. I'm really looking forward to seeing all the cars. My 720... Lowering it has caused all kinds of driveline vibrations. and the turning circle is pretty poor now too. SO sadly im going to raise it 2inches, so that the thing can be useable again. 720s are not pretty enough to be stanceworks Efame hero cars...
  10. Would be more than happy with "best Nissan Versa"
  11. Flying out of OZ Saturday morning our time, Getting to Canby sometime after Lunch On Saturday Your time... I will try to park and display the rental car if i'm so lucky to get a Nissan Versa or similar. Anyone from the Bend / Redmond OR area gonna be up there? Ill be wearing the same shirt as this guy... Come and find me for a Sticker for our big event in Australia...
  12. Astro turf / Fake grass. I'm gonna put some in mine..
  13. Or chuck a couple of dog chains in there and shake, easier to know you have got them all out too. I used the aquarium sized rocks and laundry powder to clean the inside of plastic fluid ( overflow, washer) bottles on one of my cars, that and a bit of magic sponge action on the outside they looked great.
  14. Yeah ill definitely miss Blue lake. Ill be coming to Canby to check it out. not sure what time on the saturday ill get in, but if there is still daylight ill come by for a look. then more pics on sunday. I better resist the urge to by any cars this trip. Ill try and sus out the historic racing. the 510's were never really circuit racers over here, but were successful at rally.
